How we handle wood floor repair in Bishopsgate
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and burns.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Repairing versus replacing in Bishopsgate
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Bishopsgate
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When can you do it?

Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
